Super teaser betting is one of the most adrenaline pumping wagers in the world of football. Synonymous with teaser bets, super teasers are played when bettors wager on two or more teams while receiving differing point lines then a normal point spread. Today we examine how to wager on super teasers.

As we noted above, super teasers have different point lines, in which bettors can use to spread out over a number of games. The common points you will see in a super teaser are nine, nine and a half and 10. This is a minimum in the super teaser world which is sometimes also called the mega teaser world. The maximum amount of points one can wager is 20. However as you may have read in previous teaser articles, although fun to play, super teasers do not pay out very highly so to win a lot you will have to bet a lot.

On most three team wagers at $10 each, you would have a bet line of 10 to 13. So for every 13 dollars you risk you would only get back 10. The more teams you wager on the higher the payout. In football, during week one there are 15 games played, so you could bet all 15 games in a mega teaser.

One of the most successful routes of super teasing is to use the popular play offered at sportsbooks online in order to play the teaser. Essentially you are risking the books money rather than your own. However if you are able to win on the free play then you take all the winnings. Seems fair right? Many sportsbooks would rather you bet a regular teaser then a mega teaser, because it gives them the best opportunity to collect. Conversely the more teams you add to your card the more risky it gets for the bookie. As we noted earlier the more teams you parlay the easier it is for you to control the line when online betting.

When betting on the NFL there are many different conditions you should consider. One condition that is commonly overlooked is how the weather can affect the outcome of a game. In the beginning of the season the weather plays little to no role on the NFL betting lines. However in the latter months of the season when the regular season ends and the playoffs begin the cold temperatures have a drastic affect on the odds lines.

For instance, in December when the weather is 35 degrees or lower, the point spread and total lines can be affected by two to three points. In cities such as Chicago, Cincinnati and Cleveland, three of the coldest cities in the US during winter, nine games went over the total in last year’s final few weeks of the regular season. Furthermore, generally most of the teams in the NFL use a pass offense and in the latter half of the regular season the wind tends to pick up, playing a pivotal role in the outcome of the games. As a result 13 games between December and January went under the total as the wind made it far more difficult for passes to be completed.

Bettors informing themselves of the weather conditions prior to wagering, should know that the cold weather tends to have a drastic affect on non-playoff warm weather road teams. This was none more evident than in 2007 when teams such as the Miami Dolphins and Tampa Bay Buccaneers combined with the other warm non playoff teams for an overall record of two wins in six losses.

By factoring in the weather when handicapping your bet, one should always consider the history of each team. Such being the case for the powerhouse San Diego Chargers, in the early stages of the winter they have an undefeated record. Yet when the winter progresses their success turns to dismay as they struggle mightily.

Betting enthusiasts looking to become more risqué in their wagers look no further than teasers. Teaser bets are played when fans gamble on two or more teams with a single wager. In essence, the bettors receive different point margins, six points to be spread out over your two bets or 10 over your three bets and you win the wagers by all three teams winning that day. Today we look at the proper way to bet online NFL teasers as there is much confusion involved.

The common points you will see in a teaser are six, six and half and seven. For two team teasers fans will usually spread their six to seven points out over the two bets. Here is an example of a point spread and then how it is alternated to fit a teaser line:

Dallas - 8
Minnesota +3

Would change on a six point teaser line to

Dallas - 2
Minnesota +9

In order for you to win on your teaser, you would need Dallas to win their game by at least two points, while needing Minnesota to cover the nine point spread in their game. However if either Dallas or Minnesota lose their game, you lose your wager completely no matter if the other team won.

One of the drawbacks to parlay teaser betting is that the payouts are lower than a normal head to head matchup. However at the same time they are advantageous because you do not have to put as much down as you would on a money line.

The best way to make a profit in the grand scheme of things is to play a Wong teaser. This form of teaser allows the spread to move by two or three numbers. As a result you have a bigger chance of winning by the time you finish placing all your wagers. Since the lines are lower so your teams do not need to cover as much.

For the fan new to NFL betting, understanding each team’s schedule can be the difference between lots of successful wagers, and only getting your feet wet. One of the trickier concepts in the football schedule to strategize for is the success rate of the road team. A general rule of thumb is that every team plays at least two of their road games back to back. As a result when betting on NFL teams, one should always consider that the odds of the road team winning both games are rather slim.

We have found that the decent teams tend to win one out of the two games on their mini road trips, usually the second of the two games. The first game, the odds of the road team winning are usually lower and would read like this:

Panthers
Packers - 10
Outcome of Game 1: Panthers 10 Packers 24
The Packers who are known as one of the perennial powerhouses in the NFC are favored over the Panthers by 10.

Panthers
Vikings - 7
Outcome: Panthers 14 Vikings 10

In the second game of the back to back for the Panthers, the point spread tends to go down, because the bookie believes the Panthers as the road team will have a little more push in the second leg of a back to back. Now although in this example they did win, this is not always the case as losing both is just as likely as winning both games.

As well aside from the back to back away games scenario, another time where you should bet on the road team is when that team is going into a bye week. We have found that every time a road team goes into a bye week or comes out of one, they tend to give a stronger effort.

Similar to big four sports the MLB and the NHL, the NFL training camps have a preseason in which their stars make appearances in at least one of the two exhibition games. Today we look at how preseason home underdogs can be misleading for regular season NFL betting.

Of the big four sports to bet upon, the NFL has by far the biggest attendance. Annually 28 of the 30 teams have over 94 percent attendance as football is taken the most serious of the big four sports. As a result, fans wanting season tickets can only assure they get the best seats if they pay for the two home preseason games. This is bothersome to a lot of fans as teams usually play their secondary teams at home during the preseason.

Nevertheless over the last decade the home team when bet as the underdog during the preseason, has accumulated a 61 percent winning percentage. But why is this?

Essentially, depending on who the home team is can dictate the outcome of games. For instance a team such as the Detroit Lions in order to entice their fans to come to regular season games may have all of their starters play at home during the preseason. As a result, in a game where they face the secondary roster of the Minnesota Vikings, the Lions although even an underdog at home in that game, will end up winning because of having their starters play.

Likewise good teams that had a disastrous season the year prior may have their best players play at home in the preseason to give their fans something to cheer about. Meaning to suggest that betting on the home underdogs can provide bettors with easy victories prior to the start of the regular season.
